Luvcview is only a viewer, not a driver.
You should see uvcvideo in Menu->System->PupScan (should be visible, if you open the first line).

After every boot you need to "modprobe uvcvideo" or you have to write it in rc.local as CatDude mentioned.

I remember vague that uvcvideo has 3 or 4 dependencies, one was something with v4l. But this shouldn't be your problem because I've not installed anything else and it works (I mean luvcview)..

As far as I remember, everything about webcam, which worked or worked not for Eee900 also worked or worked not for 701. I remember 3.01, eeetiger and ripple (good ol' times btw.).

I have not tested wifi with Eee and 2.16 (first step for me is to get webcam working). I remember, I needed the madwifi driver from tempestuous in 3.01. I think, you also need this one for 2.16.

I tried wifi with my Gericom but no go. I need rt2500pci driver but can't find it. So if I get the rest working, maybe I would take the occasion to try it by my own, or more likely, I would ask tempestuous friendly for help.

Muppy webcam also doesn't work for me.

BTW, did you install it on usbflash? I was not able to do it there. It allways comlpained about pmedia=usbflash . Must install it on my internal chips. _________________Ich verwende "frugal", und das ist gut so.
Raspberry Pi without Puppy? No, thanks.

anyone able to download this?
http://www2.zoneminder.com/downloads/ZoneMinder-1.24.4.tar.gz

Also doesn't work for me.

I installed zoneminder in lupu 5.25 from PPM. A lot of dependencies, and some are still missing. Maybe I could find.

The real problem for me seems to be that I'm a complete noob about apache, mysql and ZoneMinder itself . No glue, which program to run first, how to set up and so on. It seems to be a never ending story to me.

Just read this thread and besides becoming dizzy trying to sift through the jumping around from Watchdog, Motion, and Zoneminder I was about to download Watchdog and realized that it was for USB cameras.

I recently acquired an IP camera ($49. USD) that connects to the RJ-45 port. It is generic, no manufacturer or model number, and came with a MS windows-only mini-CD.

OK, I roller-clicked the wget (see following) into Console and am downloading it.

I am leery of a dedicated Puppy as the odds of it handling all of the hardware out there is poor - and the upkeep of yet another Puplet is a burden on the creator of it. (I have located the few Puplets that are generally compatible, with some quirks - with our laptops and netbooks.)

Is there a reason this could not be a SFS that one adds to a known-compatible Puplet on their hardware?

BTW: For others who have not done the Forum-to-Console transfer, in order to cut & paste, rather than manually type text, one needs to either right&left click at the same time or click the center roller on a mouse to grab the highlighted text, then repeat that in Console. (Apparently roller-click or right&left click places the text in a different buffer, one which Console recognizes, than that which is used by the usual Copy.)

I think a dedicated puplet for this makes sense. No need to install anything, just burn the iso. I guess the point is, this is likely to be used in some old dedicated laptop or other system that is used for surveillance only, not in your main system. Throw the CD in the drawer and boot it. If it runs, cool; otherwise no great amount of time has been wasted.

So far I have not located a Linux app that has a functional work-around that is also available in Puppy.

Note: The site that sold these $49. IP cameras never mentioned that they were dependent on a proprietary MS app. Sigh._________________Thanks! DavidHome page: http://nevils-station.comDon't googleSearch!http://duckduckgo.com
